Is my lip piercing infected?


Question:
I just got my lip re-pierced a couple of days ago. i had a mild cold/sinus infection and now it feels like the underside of my jaw is swollen. my lip got swollen but, it's going down and i remember it was uncomfortable at first the first two times i got it done before. now i'm up late with the pain and i have taken everything over the counter i can get my hands on to relieve the pain. how can i tell if this is because of the piercing or if it's just a really bad allergy/sinus infection or something else?

Answers:
if the place is red or it is touchy..it's easy to get infection,,they sometimes dont sterilize their equipment as they should even if they say they do!
I would go get it checked out at the place you got it done, just to be safe, you never know.
